The Avengers review!!

The fans of the franchise now, have another reason to smile, this time an even bigger one!! :-)

Ever since the trailer of The Avengers went on air, from that very day I had been watching it daily twice at least. Already knowing that its got to be a fantastic film...somewhere I feared that hype often kills it!!

Thank God!! Nothing like that happened...instead, I, after finally having watched the awesome Superhero flick, feel that this one was under hyped!!!

Its a waayyyyyy tooo goooooddd!!!!! One of the best kick-ass action flicks EVER!

F***!!! I don't have words enough to describe the excitement I'm in right now. Brilliant it is! Anyone who has ever read any Superhero comic book in his life, GO SEE the movie...

Having dazzling set designs all amazingly well crafted into one package, director Joss Whedon to my amazement has given this Superhero feast, a nice new treatment. And that is that The Avengers despite having been put into Genres like Action/Adventure/Sci-Fi, surprise, surprise, it is Extremely funny too...I knew Tony Stark(aka Iron Man) would be delivering some witty lines here and there, but never was I expecting it to be sooo hilarious!! Amazing work!!

6 Superheroes, the earth to save, It has EVERYTHING a fan-boy would ever ask for, even  more!!

After having successfully introduced us to Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Captain America in their individual ventures, Marvel studios have done a brilliantly good job by developing this unbelievable spectacle!!

One more thing that I would specially appreciate about The Avengers is that EVERY
superhero gets his/her deserving screen space! Nobody was overshadowing.

Iron Man is techy, Hulk is destructive, Thor being a Demi-god it must have been a
really difficult task to group them up along with Black Widow, Hawkeye and Captain
America who are already used to obeying orders. Plus with all that being in place
initially they had their egos clashing against one another. Having all that resolved,
the enemy is Loki, brother of Thor, there were Supernatural creatures that had to be
blended within the perimeters of the world that had been developed. Man, this would
have been one hell of a tough job!!

Spectacular, jaw dropping action, excellent fun, smart and witty dialogues make this
Superhero extravaganza a treat to watch!! Exceeds all expectations.
I'm still working on believing it! It was that good... And well, I don't know if I
should tell this in public but I, literally was sitting on the seat like a little
child, clapping, whistling and laughing my lungs out, enjoying every scene of the movie.

There is sooo much to write about but that would be unnecessary i guess, so only one suggestion in the end.....Don't miss this!!

This definitely couldn't be any better. Hats off to Joss Whedon, the cast who delivered
their performances with a panache and to the Marvel crew!!!

This was by far the most entertaining memorable movie I have seen in my life!! Will cherish this for long..... I wish I had my friends with me...huh!! Nevermind..!! ;-)

The Avengers.....Go!! Go!! Go!!!

Sherlock review

!!...Sherlock...Sherlock...!!!

Just finished watching Sherlock (TV SERIES), aired on BBC One over two seasons in Three episode series each (2010-2012)!! I obviously watched the DVDRip!!

And I have to admit, this time, a TV Series...a TV Program has amazed me.

Man, what a brilliant show. Almost every time Sherlock opened his mouth to speak, you forget everything going around you and try and pay as much attention you can and when he's done with it..you say to yourself.... "Hey, what the hell just happened..."

The few things i found stunning in this show are:

- Insanely good dialogue delivery by Benedict Cumberbatch.
- Insanely sharp eye for things.
- Insanely brilliant case solving.
- Insanely good acting.
- Insanely keen writing.
- Insanely interestingly filmed.
- Insanely this......
- Insanely that....

So, in short if I sum up all these... This show is FUCKIN INSANE!!!!

Believe me guys.... I'm falling short of adjectives right now! I feel very lucky to have watched it. Thank you makers of the show.

And ya...talking about the last Episode ie Season2 Ep.3... it completely took my breath away man!!
Killer twist in the end... I won't spoil the fun by telling you that but let tell me tell you...at the very end you will be like "Oh Man!!"

Adaalat, till now, was my favorite show on Sony... I think I'll never be able to enjoy it again, thanx to Mr. Sherlock!! Urrrghhh!! (*_-)


Well, I surf imdb regularly and had known about this show for sometime... but I would really like to thank my pal Vishesh who made me watch it.

Thanx again Vishesh.....

Rating - *****(rating this show is just a formality!!) Haha....

Hello Andhero by Agnee review

WTF!!!

Agnee...man! What the f*** have you done?? I am absolutely not against Agnee's music...but it was very disappointing listening to "Hello Andheron"!! I am not at all saying that the song is too bad or something, but seriously guys.....

Is this the theme for THE AVENGERS?? I was like WTF?? This is shit!! This song is completely amateurish...bad lyrics, repetitive composition!!

I gotta say...that why are we Indians continuously proving to the world that we are no good for rock music... Atleast for a movie like The Avengers there had to be something powerful... We are even faaar behind our very neighbor Pakistan where day by day new talent is blooming!!

I reckon we should just stick to our "la...la..la....sur taal and aalap" thing!!

Congratulations India!!!! Thanx people for supporting Indipop and Rock to the extent that it now almost dead... Talented artists come, make an album...(sometimes a good one too...), and then?? Welcome to fuckin stupid Bollywood!!

Leave the stage man...go sing for some stupid hero, who wants to woo his gf lip synching it...and we go gaga over it!! Unbelievable!!

Examples are Shaan, Bombay Vikings (Neeraj Shreedhar...who's life is now governed by the great Pritam!!, Sonu Nigam etc...etc...the list is long!!)

I am very disappointed and full of anger right now!!

And I will always wish someone like "SURAJ JAGAN"(the only actual hard rock voice in India) or "LUCKY ALI" (the person I sincerely respect) or maybe "Vishal Dadlani" would have handed over the project to!!!

Huh!!

Well, in the end...that's just my opinion...!! Do u agree???

Paan Singh Tomar review

Well, well... What a film!

An armyman turned national award winning athlete turned Baghi(not a dacoit mind u!! Dacoits to parliament me hote hain)!!
A born runner joins the army...then moves his mind to sports...why?? Because of the good diet there... :D

Doing a biopic is a risky biz. But Tigmashu Dhulia, the way you did it, hats off man!! Brilliant!

Almost everything about Paan Singh Tomar is great...tight script, brilliant performances, the cinematography makes you want to visit the places it was shot at.
But above all, a stellar performance by Irrfan Khan...he has proved once again that he is one of those fine actors who can pull off any role(literally) with ease.

At first i feared how would a 45+ guy suit the role of an atlete?? Amazed i was at his work.

The film also puts focus on broader issues on how outlaws are made and not born that too because of the corrupt system and immoral society...and if this story is even half of what actually happened, then it is a tight slap on the face of the system in India!!

GO see it!! Films like these need to be praised...

Thank you Tigmashu Dhulia for doing something for the unsung heroes of Indian athletics. And thank you Irrfan Khan for putiing in so much of blood, sweat and heart into it...!!

This film is sure to touch your heart.

Agneepath review

Agneepath... Agneepath.... Agneepath!!

Revenge...this is what the whole 3 hour movie is all about..!!

First, the storyline...evil guy kills boys father...boy swears revenge... Ordeals follow!! Nothing new. BUT...a 90's like story in 2012...the writers did a really good job blending it into a modern world scenario!! Also, it has a fairly good amount of twists that will grip you till the end.

Second, the acting... Awesome job done by EVERYBODY!! Hrithik's portrayal of "Vijay Dinanath Chauhan" is fabulous! Priyanka fitted in the role very well... Rishi Kapoor's character of Rauf Lala was good!! Needless to say about his acting skills.
Annnd.. Sanjay Dutt, he looked beautiful as Shit!! :D His role was really Evil and he

Music is not what you will prefer listening to once you leave the hall (except for one..you know which!! ;)) but is well suited!

Starts off like a typical Bollywood film...a few minutes into it...entry of Kancha (Sanjay Dutt) and it all seems to get straightened out!

The environment was dark and intense and in my opinion is the best part of the movie... Moreover the content and quality of violence was pretty good too, not what one would expect...

The story though sounds cliched, is intriguing...and keeps you indulged.
Plus...it may be a remake or it maybe an adaption (i wasn't even born the time the original came out :D) but believe me...whatever it is it has been done with excellence!!

The background score by Ajay-Atul acts another strong supporting actor in the film...suits almost every intense scene!!

A nice film overall...

The Lord Of The Rings review

!!!The Lord Of The Rings!!!

You have heard a lot about it, haven't you?? I too had!! So, after much a thought, i finally decided to see what all the hoax was about!!
And i must say, all those who have seen it...congratulations!! And those who haven't, you are missing something undefinable in words....

I was amazed!!
It almost like revives your soul. Believe me, you feel proud... You find yourself immersed in the scenic beauty portrayed...you start feeling if it were all for real!!

Every frame picture perfect..its like pause the movie anytime, take a screenshot, make it your wallpaper kind of a thing....!!

You feel every emotion on every creature's face...
My cheeks even started aching as my mouth was open almost the whole time... I was spellbound by the dazzling scenery...oh man!!

Gollum's (Smeagol) character was brilliant!!
You feel honored witnessing the greatness of this beautiful story of Faith, Courage, Pride, Power, Mythology (and what not.....) unleash!!

The Michael Bay, John Woo, Stallone, Arnold fans may need a high dose of a patience increaser tonic though!! (*_-)

Awesome visual effects (i really mean it)...!! Plus there was an excellent cast...it was as if the actors were born to play their roles (especially the character Gandalf).... The battle in the final episode at Minas Tirith was spectacular...

I  you can watch the whole saga unfold before your very eyes and when it is about to end you do nothing but wish the adventurous journey never ends...
Some among you may not agree but I don't think i have seen anything more spectcular than TLOTR... And also, I am pretty sure I will remember it for a long long time!!

One small advice...get the movies, switch on your Home Theater, watch it at night in silence then will you feel the absolute amazingness of it!!

I don't have that much of a vocabulary to define it in words.... All I can say is...
Thank You...thank you... Thank you so much Peter Jackson!!!...and the whole team behind this absolute epic saga!!!

Thank You very much!!

Mission Impossible 4 review

!!...Mission Impossible 4...!!

I know I was late to go in for the movie...but all thanx to UPTU!! :P

Well, this was a reckless roller coaster ride...
And is Tom Cruise really 49?? Looked more like 29!!

I wonder how much of mind and imagination do they apply on one script??? No, seriously!! I mean every single scene was made with such finesse that you almost end up saying to yourself "Yaar ye actual me ho sakta hai kya...??"

The action sequences were fantastic, brilliant!!!
Scenes filmed in Dubai were just amazing man...
Specially the one when he climbs Burj Khalifa....it was absolutely stunning....!! And that one single sequence is enough to get your heart pumping....for sure!!

-Fooling a guard with an imaging system that creates an artificial statue on a screen...amazing it was!!
-Chasing a man...okk!! Doing this in the middle of a sandstorm...awesome!!

This action thriller makes excellent use of comic scenes as well... Comedy is so brilliantly incorporated in the film as if they actually want you to think "it was just a cakewalk"...
Story was engaging as well...

Tom Cruise is awesome in his portrayal of Ethan Hunt, Paula was hot,Jeremy Renner bagged another good role after Hurt Locker... And Simon Pegg!! He is awesome..i am a fan of his...!! N ya, our Anil kapoor was really good as a laughing stock until Paula got him down within 5 min of his role...

-The most amazing thing was what Tom Cruise discovered in India was TRAFFIC...!! :D :D

A stunning watch....and if you dare to miss it, well...You shouldn't!! :D

Tom Cruise saves the day again... ;-)

Desi Boyz review

!! Desi Boyz review !!

The story:

<Spoilers>

A qualified guy (Nick) living satisfactorily with his non-qualified pal (Jerry).
Aww, here comes the recession devil, Jerry loses his job again, Nick gets fired too.
Both without a penny left in their pockets. Sitting in a bar, a Desi Boyz club card
comes flying across the table (god knows from where it came). They go there and the money draws them to become Male escorts. They get famous. Nick's girlfriend (Deepika) finds this out and guess what...BREAK-UP!!
Then, the usual manana shanana n 'ol. Jerry in the time being loses his kid to a foster home because of his financial condition. He then realises his mistakes and decides to go back to complete his graduation. There he finds his love (Chitrangda).
He graduates and finds a job. Nick is also able to woo his gf once again (with a little help from her father Anupam Kher).
And then, the ending, a courtroom scene, Jerry fighting for the child's custody, all odds against him. What's gonna happen?
Suddenly, Sanjay DUtt (owner of Desi Boyz) jumps in heroically and saves the day (quite cliched you see) with a couple of awesome lines! And thats it...


-Some good punches here and there.

-An average storyline.

-The film's music was fine but somehow the choreography seemed very repetitive.

-Highlights of the for sure are the two men with chiseled torsos and loads of hot blondes.

-I really don't have much to say about the film but this film somehow manages to keep you entertained throughout. Well, to say the least its not at all a must watch but on the other hand its not THAT bad too... A fine weekend watch but then, don't use your logics if you want to enjoy!!

RA.One review

RA.one... RA.One!!!
PS2 Game, TV appearances, London premiers and what not!! The energetic Mr.SRK for sure left no stones unturned to promote. But then, that doesn't make up good film! :(

I went in with low expectations. And frankly, the movie didnt exceed on them as i was hoping it would.

Storyline 2
Action sequences 2.5
VFX 3.5
Entertainment factor 3
Acting 3

Unnecessary action, I mean what was the f***ing need for RA.One and G.One to blow up 7-8 cars?? Superhero movie they call it. Uff!!
Stupid cheap vulgar comedy without sense of humor! A child whose genius proved to be better than world's 10 best Hackers put together... Huh!!
The HART, the train stopping sequence, a scene in which he falls punching into the ground, the suit, a virtual character coming to life...all concepts lifted. Sad!!

What the writers have tried to do is pick elements from existing superhero films and just blend them together to create a so called Indian Superhero!! I really wish SRK should have given this ambitious project in the hands of a FILMMAKER and not a guy who believes a film is merely a compilation of scene after scene with no connectivity. After Cash, Dus etc Anubhav Sinha has done it again!! Kudos!!

All in all, I would not suggest you to go see the movie but also, I won't say that you SHOULD NOT!!
You can surely go and watch it...but don't use too much of brains and make yourself believe that you have not seen any Superhero Movie (especially Iron Man) before this(applicable to the Sci-fi & Superhero freaks like me :D)....

I was leaving the hall, dissapointed. Mainly because the film had potential but Bollywoodism was dancing on the top of the film....Uuurrgghhh!!

Rating- **.5
